This is a big step for me but I'm really excited too. I’m going to keep you in the loop till I lose 15 lbs!!!
It helps that my head is in the right place; it's no good changing my eating habits if my head is telling me something different. This is all about me, for me and by me! I have had no pressure from my lovely, adorable family. My daughter who is a size 2 does think I need to lose weight but is very diplomatic but I know what she's thinking!
I woke up this morning and decided to put on a pair of Size 10 jeans which had always been 'snug' only to find I could hardly zip them up and that's what did it. I weigh 150lbs. I resolved that Monday, July 29 would be the day losing some weight would become a priority.
I looked up various sites from Weight Watchers to Jenny Craig but felt uninspired and also knew that I would find it difficult to be motivated to stay on track; moreover, I actually do understand my weight behaves like a pendulum...I eat more calories than I expend and do very little exercise; so to sit and go through various weight loss routines once a week seemed a shocking waste of time & money.
I decided to keep track of my food intake and exercise routine, and what better day to start than Monday, the first day of the week and the day I usually fast seemed perfect.
Fruit consumption today was - apple, pear and blueberries. and stir fried vegetables in one tsp olive oil with onion, ginger, spinach and brocolli and handful of peanuts.
Exercise routine was a 45 minute brisk walk and 15 minute jog.
Lets see what tomorrow holds for me:)
